The Centre for Interdisciplinary Performative Arts (CIPA) is a practice-led research centre for the study of innovative and multi-media performative practices, based in the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire (Faculty of Arts, Design and Media at Birmingham City University, UK). CIPA aims to connect interdisciplinary performing arts, and to link students, staff, creative industries, research funders, partner institutions and universities at a regional, national and international level.

The research centre, led by Professor Aleksandar Saša Dundjerović, works across many areas of live performance, particularly theatre (acting and theatre making), sound design, dance, visual arts, multimedia, digital arts, scenography and installation. CIPA members are committed to making a significant contribution to Birmingham City University, Birmingham and the wider society, using their artistry and scholarship to produce new knowledge in interdisciplinary performative practices.
